And, in relation to the article, ELO probably had quite a light stage back in the day as well.

Everything nowadays is a smaller, faster, colder, more complex version of something already predicted to exist last century. We need more Einsteins, Von Neumans, Heavisides etc to kick applied technology in the pants, throw in a whole new paradigm, and open up truly new frontiers other than an atom-sized transistor

We'll always tell our grandkids "You know, in OUR day we had to WAIT for the computers."

Kids: "Really? How long did you wait?"

Grandpa: "Oh, a loooong time. And we used to roast marshmallows over the hot servers!"

Einstein’s three miracle papers of 1905 depended on the idea that photons and electrons were particles, which was a heresy within German physics at the time.

It’s a good thing that he was a patent clerk instead of a physicist and that his reasoning was rock solid and backed by experimental results.

One more cool thing - the light paths can be denser because they can cross the same space without interfering with each other.

“Today’s computer chips use electrons for computing. Electrons are good because they’re tiny,”


Talking to kindergarteners and reporters is the same thing.
